WRT the “uncensorability” of fediverse, the servers are all still built on top of (a) Amazon/Google/Microsoft IaaS or rolled at home. Those silicon chips and boxes are almost guaranteed to be produced and distributed by Apple/AMD/Intel/Qualcomm. They will pass around bytes on the internet policed by Comcast, Xfinity, Google, and Mediacom. While it’s not impossible to pull off a coup against corporate owned social media, there are so many places where fediverse counts as parasitic competition that we basically need to have an open-source eternally-libertarian RISC-V shop at the scale of AMD to have a fighting chance of building a truly unbiased fediverse.
